From the grounds of the bombed hospital, the MSF staff in Kunduz send their deep appreciation to everyone around the world who stood in solidarity with them. Three weeks after the event this is the first time they see each other again.

Three weeks after the bombing in Kunduz, Afghanistan, our MSF colleagues gathered together for the first time on the grounds of the ruined hospital.

They took this opportunity to send their deep appreciation to everyone around the world who has been standing in solidarity with them since the terrible events of October 3, when repeated aerial attacks that targeted the hospital’s main building resulted in the loss of at least 42 people, including 24 patients, 14 staff and 4 caretakers.

Thank you to everyone who has supported MSF and the Kunduz staff. Please keep up the pressure, and keep spreading the word. We need the world to ask for an independent investigation and to stand up for the protected status of hospitals in Afghanistan, and all across the globe.
